Less than a year after online marketplace Snapdeal inaugurated its campus in Gurgaon, budget hotel aggregator OYO Rooms opened its campus in the city on Monday.

Founder & CEO of OYO, Ritesh Agarwal, said the startup will also open a skill training Institute in Gurgaon to train and certify workers in the hospitality industry. The main office will house 2,000 employees presently.

"We have established a skill training Institute which will provide a platform for recognition of prior learning through informal and on-the-job learning," Agarwal said.

He said OYO plans to train 1 lakh people, creating a pipeline of skilled workforce for the hospitality industry.

OYO is likely to sign a memorandum of understanding or MoU with the Haryana government. The campus was inaugurated by the chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar who said that ventures like OYO help creating jobs at comparatively lesser investment.

The state government is pushing Gurgaon to be positioned as the next hub for startups with the presence of Snapdeal, OYO, and Shopclues, among other Internet firms.
